Current NSU president talking about his dad and NSU Basketball Coach Mike McConathy's dad, "Hound" McConathy, two coaching rivals from times past. What a beautiful quote:
"A few years ago, I brought my father (Clem) to a function where he saw Big John for the first time in decades. They shook hands and warmly embraced each other, but their eyes betrayed that competitive fire, still burning some 50 years after they last met on the court. In moments like that, you just watch quietly knowing you are in the presence of greatness."

In all the things in the world today that anger us, it is wonderful to read about people who made positive differences in it.
May God bless the family.
Dont comment much--but, Mr. "Hound" was a close friend of our family...couldn't have know any finer person. My father in law got to know him when he was playing in the NFL and Mr Hound started in pro basketball, and they became quite close friends---both of those men had some of the "dangest" big hands I have ever shaken--he had been quite ill, but obviously tough for this family.The McConathy bunch is "fine people"...
His brother George is not in great shape either -
